GPR Pino Racing has confirmed it will kick-off its International GT Open 2013 season at the Paul Ricard with its Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3. The Belgian team, based near Charleroi, put on a stunning debut in the series in the 2012 season-closing event in Barcelona, where Maxime Martin and Bertrand Baguette conquered a win and a second in the GTS class.

“It’s still early to say anything about the driver line-up”, commented Pino Sperlinga, “except that it will be of high level. We liked a lot the GT Open as a championship and we are looking for support to commit ourselves long-term in the series.”

GPR’s Aston Martin will have the privilege of sporting number 100, as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of Aston Martin.
